you're tight. don't hold your breath so long.
i know your upset. so am i. so is your mother.
well, fine, but now is not the time to slack off. you got a chance to finish at the top of your class--
well you haven't been hitting the books very much.
and seeing as you're not playing soccer this year it's not like you don't have enough time--
no, son. if you weren't enjoying it, then you shouldn't play.
that was lousy. here. i want to see your grades come up, buddy. that's all that bothers me. and if you say you need more time to study, then that's what we'll do. the first thing is to cut out all the time you spend reading to mr. denker. it's a nice thing to do, but it's not helping our school work a bit.
hey, todd. you still with me?
he'll be fine without you. he was fine before and he'll be fine after. there's nothing wrong with wanting to help people, but you gotta make sure you got yourself squared away first. that's what matters.
not by a long shot.
did you practice that in front of a mirror or something?
hey, he's not?
just checking. all right.  we'll give your way a shot. if you think you can do it, if you really do, and your serious, then.  okay. you really like the old guy, don't you?
okay, okay. don't ever force it. watch.
we all loved that dog.
my dad is very proud of the fact that the bowden men have hit every major conflict since the civil war.
it's one family tradition i'd like to put an end to. todd and i blow a few caps down at the range every week. that's all the combat he needs.
forget it.
mom, let me get that for you.
no.
christ, i forgot. todd, my aunt patty, dad's sister, died on wednesday. mom and dad have to drive up to fresno to settle her estate. we can't ask dad to drive six hours each way for graduation.
that's why. you understand, don't you, todd?
monica.  how long did we rent those jet skis in hawaii?
this receipt says we had two jet skis for twenty-three hours a piece. the bill is fifteen hundred dollars. didn't you look at the receipt before you signed it?
numbers are numbers, monica, in any language.
that's not the point. you should always read the bill before you sign. i've told you that a hundred times. fifteen hundred dollars.
hey, maybe you're right.
i thought his family was killed in the war.
don't be gone too long, todd.
todd, what's wrong.
jesus. is he conscious?
thank god. todd, call an ambulance.
all right, son. don't touch him. i'll be there in five minutes.
you did real good, son. you did real good.
dick bowden, nice to meet you. this is my wife, monica.
you too. good luck, son.
don't you want to see your buddies?
what kind of doctor are you?
actually, it was todd's idea to call. he thought.  we thought there might be some way we could help your investigation.
wait, i saw a letter. it was in german. i didn't think anything of it at the time. but, yeah, it was on airmail stationery.
it isn't?
monica. they don't care what we know, they care what todd knows.
wait a minute.  agent richler, before you go-- todd's not a suspect in this, is he? i mean he's just talking to you, right?
because todd always thought he was helping that old man. we didn't know any of this before today.
everything all right, son?
you sure?
your mother and i feel terrible.  like we.
you know we love you, don't you?
look, ahh, your mother and i are going to go down and talk to our lawyer. i don't want you to worry about a thing. it's just a precaution. i don't trust these cops. we're not going to be gone long.
your old man is on top of things, all right? i am going to take care of this.
this afternoon, if you're up for it, we'll go do something. how 'bout it?
